How Our National Interest Waiver Lawyer Can Advance Your Interests

Do you have an exceptional set of skills that make it possible for you to work at an advanced level? Do you want to obtain an employment-based green card without having to worry about having a job offer and an approved labor certification from the Department of Labor? If so, then you may be a good fit for a National Interest Waiver. A National Interest Waiver lawyer from our firm can let you know whether or not you would be a good fit for the waiver. A subset of the EB2 employment-based visa, the National Interest Waiver can make it easier for certain workers to immigrate to the United States, yes. However, the petition can be a complex one. You give yourself the best chance of success by working with attorneys who have experience in helping folks just like you to be able to obtain this waiver. Here at the Rijal Law Firm, we have years of experience in doing exactly that. So, now, we can put that experience to work for your case.

What You Need To Get The NIW
 
First, at the minimum basic level, you need to be able to demonstrate you possess exceptional ability. Whether it’s in business, the sciences, or the arts, that has to be shown. That means you need to have a diploma, degree, or certificate from an institution of learning, licensing, evidence of at least a decade of full-time experience, recognition of your contributions and/or achievements to your industry, and so forth. You don’t need all of those (although that would help). Instead, you need to be able to demonstrate at least three of those. As with all other aspects of this petition, we can help.

What Must Be Demonstrated
Even after you’ve demonstrated what’s necessary above, you still aren’t done. You’ll note that the name of this waiver is the “National Interest Waiver.” So, you need to be able to demonstrate that the work you intend to do here in America is in the national interest, and that it has both national as well as substantial merit. That merit could be in the fields of technology, business, and science, but it could also be in health, or even education or culture. On the subject of the national interest, you need to be able to show that it’s in the interest of the United States to grant you a waiver for any employment requirements and labor certification. On top of all of this, you also have to show that you are in a position to be able to do this proposed work. You need to show that you have the experience, the education, the background, the skills, and so forth. As you can see from all of this, that’s quite a lot you have to be able to prove. If you are eligible, then it’s in your best interest to work with attorneys who know what the USCIS is looking for. That way, you put yourself in the best position for success.

How a National Interest Waiver Lawyer from Our Firm Can Help
We can take you through the entire process. From the initial, free case evaluation, through the successful attainment of a national interest waiver, we can represent you, answering all of your questions as we guide you. Additionally, we can put together the best case on your behalf, too. See, we know what the USCIS wants to see in this kind of petition. They’ll look at everything, of course. But, they really will pay close attention to your business plan, to the interest of any potential customers, investors, and so forth. Remember: you don’t need to be able to show that what you’re proposing will be successful. You don’t have to show them that (as that would be deeply unfair). However, what your petition does need to show is that you are the person who is capable of making it successful. That’s what we can help with. When we take your case, we do everything in our power to showcase that you are the person who can make this plan come to fruition.

More Than Just the NIW
We have been able to help so many qualified petitioners over the years to be able to apply for and receive a National Interest Waiver. In that time, they have been able to do remarkable work that is absolutely in the best interests of the United States, all while immigrating to this country how they want to. We can do the same for you. Now, it’s entirely possible that the NIW is the best way for you to come to America, but it’s also possible that another method would serve you and yours better.

U Visa Bona Fide Determination: What You Can Expect

Were you a victim of a crime and are looking to remain in the United States? Are you open to cooperating with law enforcement? If you answered yes to both of those questions, then you might be a good fit for U visa bona fide determination. This process can be challenging and arduous. But, with an attorney from the Rijal Law Firm by your side, we can guide you through it, so that you can obtain the immigration status you seek.

What Benefits Do I Get With A U Visa?

If you obtain a U visa, you can receive work authorization as well as lawful status here in America for as many as four years. In some cases, there can be extensions to that as well. After three years have passed, you may be eligible to adjust your status to lawful permanent resident. After five years, you can apply for citizenship. These benefits don’t just extend to you; there are derivative benefits for family members who qualify as well. Specifically, you can bring your spouse and children to the United States with us on a U visa. Additionally, with a U visa, you can receive public benefits, such as healthcare, education, etc. Those are just some of the benefits associated with this visa. When you reach out to us for a free case evaluation, we’ll sit down with you to go over your options and help you to find the immigration method that’s best for your specific situation.

Who’s Eligible For U Visa Bona Fide Determination?

To be eligible for a U visa, you must have been a victim of what’s called a “qualifying” crime. The list of crimes that are considered qualifying crimes includes violent crimes, crimes involving abuse (sexual abuse, abuse of children, etc.), stalking, human trafficking, torture, aggravated felonies, and similar crimes. In addition to having been a victim of those crimes, you also must have suffered some kind of physical and/or mental abuse as a result of the crime. On top of all of that, you agree to assist law enforcement with their investigation to the extent that your help is required. For example, you have information about the crime or other criminal activity that could help them, etc.

How Can the Rijal Law Firm Help?
Applying for a U visa can be challenging for many reasons. Always, we handle these cases with both discretion and compassion. When we help you with a U visa, we’re always on your side. Over the years, we’ve helped many who are in the exact position that you are right now. For example, police officers, prosecutors, and the like, know the law. They know that, to be able to get your U visa, you need certification. So, they may try to take advantage of that, and thus, take advantage of you. How? They could do so through any number of ways. In the past, some have tried to get U visa petitioners to take action beyond what they have to (such as going undercover in a sting operation and other actions that are risky and unnecessary). We can keep that from happening. Indeed, we can draw upon our experience to better not just communicate with law enforcement officials but to negotiate with them as well. That way, your interests are always served while moving you forward on the path of immigration. Over the years, we’ve worked with many victims’ advocate groups and can coordinate with them on your behalf as well. If you’re trying to petition by yourself, it’s not only less likely that you’ll receive your U visa, it’s more likely that you and yours will be taken advantage of.

What Forms Do I Have to Fill Out?
There are many forms that need to be filled out (and filled out properly) to apply for a U visa. They can include Form I-918, I-918 Supplement B, Form I-92, Form I-175, and others. As you can see, that’s quite a large number of forms. Filling those out on your own on time and with 100% accuracy can be a real challenge. It’s one more reason to work with an experienced attorney.

Many Paths to America
If you meet the above standards, it’s in your best interests to reach out to see if you are eligible. That having been said, you don’t need to have been a victim of a crime to be able to immigrate to America. Here at the Rijal Law Firm, we’ve helped folks from all walks of life to be able to immigrate to America how they wanted to do so. To see how we can help, schedule a free case evaluation with our staff. You can do so by messaging us through our site or giving us a call.

Advice For Outstanding Applicants From An EB-1 Visa Lawyer

Do you believe that you’re eligible for an EB-1 visa? Are you among the very best in your field? Of all the visas, this very well might be the most competitive. That’s true for many reasons, not the least of which is because its requirements are so high. That having been said, an EB-1 visa lawyer from our firm has helped many over the years to meet those standards and obtain this highly sought-after visa. Now, we can do the same for you.

What To Keep In Mind About The EB-1

Remember, the name of this visa is “Aliens with Extraordinary Qualities.” Whether it’s in the fields of science, education, or art, you need to demonstrate superior and extraordinary abilities. We don’t say that to intimidate you, rather, it’s just to let you know the truth. If you believe that there is a possibility that you do meet that standard, that you can demonstrate this, it’s worth it to reach out to us to see how we can help.

Advice For EB-1 Applicants
 
If you’re like many, you may have an image in your head of a USCIS official going through your entire petition meticulously. Most believe that the USCIS official spends days, even weeks on end, pouring through every single document, every single piece of evidence, before making their decision. Yes, your USCIS official will be that thorough. They will go through everything that you have, yes. But, what most don’t realize is that your USCIS official only has a brief period of time to go through your application. They don’t have days and days. So, to give yourself the best possibility of success, you want to make sure that your evidence is submitted in such a way that it’s easily explained, perfectly organized. We know how to do that. Additionally, we also know how to put together your petition in the best manner possible.

Best Practices for If You’re Applying for an EB-1A from Outside America
The good news is that, yes, if you’re outside of America, you can still apply for an EB-1A visa. In fact, you can do so from anywhere. You don’t have to wait until you’re “sponsored” by someone or anything of that nature. This is a self-petitioned petition – you can decide when and how to petition. That having been said, you give yourself the best chance of success by working with an experienced attorney. It’s a tragedy when someone who really does have the caliber of resume, the credentials to apply for an EB-1A visa, only to not present the evidence in such a way that shows them in the best possible light. You work too hard, no matter where you’re from or your field of expertise, to entrust your EB-1A visa petition to luck. We can put you in the best position to immigrate to the United States how you want.

How an EB-1 Visa Lawyer from Our Firm Can Help
We cannot overstate the level of competition when it comes to the EB-1A visa. To use a cliche, this is a visa that the “best of the best” petition for. So, because of that, it becomes all the more important to make sure that your petition is, quite literally, as good as it could possibly be. Case in point, any error or mistake, no matter how small or seemingly minor, could be that which denies you the visa. This is true when you make your initial petition for an EB-1A as well as if you receive an RFE as well. An RFE is intimidating in any context. It can be especially so when it comes to an EB-1A visa petition. The “good news,” so to speak, with an RFE, is that it will tell you in no uncertain terms exactly what evidence your petition requires. It’s one thing to read what that evidence is, it’s something else entirely to put it together in the best, most compelling way. That’s where we come in. We’ve guided many applicants not just through the process of petitioning for an EB-1A, but also in responding to an RFE properly as well.  

Many Ways to Come to America
The EB-1A is one of the most popular visas for many reasons. If you believe that there is any chance that you could be eligible for it, it behooves you to talk to an experienced attorney. However, it is far from the only way to immigrate to the United States. Indeed, many who came to us initially to petition for an EB-1A visa sat with us for a free case evaluation and discovered that they would best be served with another immigration path. Here at the Rijal Law Firm, we’re always glad to provide a free case evaluation. To see how we can help, message us through our site or call.

Green Card Through Spouse: Prep Help With Documents, The Interview, And More

Have you and your spouse discussed getting a green card? Do you want to get a green card through your spouse and want to give yourself the best possible chance of success? Here at the Rijal Law Firm, we have helped so many to do exactly that. If you and the love of your life want to live in America, we very well may be able to help you to do exactly that. There are certain requirements that you will have to meet and actions you will have to take. However, by working with an experienced attorney who knows exactly what the USCIS is looking for, we can help you every step of the way, from the free initial case evaluation through a successful resolution.

What Documents Are Required?
 
Everyone’s case is different. Your relationship and your immigration path will be different from anyone else’s. That having been said, we can tell you, based on our experience, that many of our clients have needed to provide their birth certificate, marriage certificate, proof of your sponsor’s citizenship/lawful permanence residence, your m medical examination results, tax returns, bank statements, and more. Depending on your life and the life of your love, then you may also need to provide a police clearance certificate, death certificates/divorce decrees, military records, and others.

What to Remember About Petitioning to Get a Green Card Through Spouse

You may look at those and think: “Wow, those sure are a lot of documents.” They’re actually just the basic documents, some of what you may need. Remember: the government wants to make sure that you’re not scamming them, that you and your beloved really are truly in love and planning on being together, etc. So, you’ll also need to make a strong case for that, too. This can require a whole other set of documentation that’s very different from what’s mentioned above. For example, it can help your case to have photos that you’ve taken as a couple, proof that you went on trips together/have been together, a lease with both of your names on it, and so forth. “Joint” documents can also be very useful. Those include joint tax returns, bank statements for joint accounts, joint utility bills, and so forth. In many cases, the more wedding information, the better. Yes, photos from the wedding are great, but you can also boost your candidacy with invitations, guestbooks, and more. When you reach out to us, we can go over your case. During that, we’ll let you know exactly which documents can best serve your case, to make the most compelling petition on your behalf. Then, we’ll work with you to put all of that together.

What’s the Interview Like?

It may sound a bit odd, but, typically, the final stage in this process is to have an interview with an official from the USCIS. Here, too, their purpose is to make sure that your relationship is legitimate, that you two plan on doing what you say you’ll do. We can prepare you for this interview. As you might imagine, every interview is different. At the end of the day, the USCIS interviewer will ask any question that they believe will help to determine, one way or another, if your relationship is bona fide. Some of the questions our clients have been asked in the past can be answered factually, such as when/where you met, you/your spouse’s birthday, where did you go on your honeymoon, how many people were at your wedding, etc. Some of these questions, on the other hand, can be about the future. You might get asked if you plan on having kids, that kind of thing. In fact, in some cases, you could even potentially have what’s called a “Stokes” interview. That’s one where the USCIS will put you and your spouse in separate rooms, trying to see if your stories match up. We understand that the idea of an interview about your relationship can be stressful, frustrating, and the like. Before you and yours go into the interview, we can make sure that you’re as prepared and comfortable as possible.
